Doesn't help - the patents aren't for Java as such, they were on the basic concept of a JVM. The same thing could apply to any other JVM or even C# and dotNet

But Oracle doesn't want a patent war with IBM and Microsoft just now.
Microsoft could simply ban Oracle from running on windows, or ban any windows machine from connecting to a site using Oracle (a bit of Apple style licensing text is easy to insert)
And you don't want a patent fight with IBM - they probably have a patent on using oxygen for breathing!
- tomh- 16y agoBanning Oracle from Windows won't happen with the EU sueing MS to oblivion. And I think Google banning oracle "from the internet aka its search engine" would do a lot more harm. Anyway I think the reasons of Oracle are still unknown so we just have to see what happens.
